Okay, our friends.

Philip (0:10)

So, I guess probably two months ago, we wrote a book about this kitty cat that was kind of a bad kitty, did some pretty nasty stuff. And so we're gonna follow up on that cat. We're gonna revisit their story. Today's story is called Bedtime for Bad Kitty. The story was written by Nick Brule. We see the cat in the picture. It's that black cat, remember? He gets into so much mischief. So let's see what happens with him today, shall we? Today's story is read by Mommy and...

Oh, I have a cat. What kind of cat are you? Oh, tell me you're a good kitty.

Are you floof?

Are you beans? Yeah? All right. Mommy and Beans, the cat. Not a little boy at all. A cat. Let's go.

It's bedtime, kitty. Oh, kitty does not like bedtime. Please brush your teeth, kitty.

Kitty does not want to brush her teeth. Kitty wants to play, play, play, play, play, play. And in the picture, we can see kitty with a ball of yarn, and the ball of yarn is, well, all over the place and all over the kitty. It is not playtime, kitty. It's bedtime. Kitty does not like bedtime. If you brush your teeth right now, there will be enough time for us to read a story together. Now, if I were a cat, that would excite me. I would run to brush my teeth. And guess what? Kitty does want to hear a story. Kitty brushes her teeth.

Lisa Bueno (2:12)

It's bedtime, kitty.

Philip (2:13)

Please use the potty.

And there's the kitty litter box. But the kitty is just not interested. Kitty does not want to use the potty. Kitty wants to sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing.

SPEAKER_4 (2:28)

We can see...

Philip (2:32)

All over the place. It's not a very pleasant sound though, is it? Can you see how the music notes, the artist has drawn the music notes in a wiggly way? Which shows us that it's not very pretty.

I'm sure you don't sound anything like that when you sing. I say to my kitty. Okay, it's not singing time, kitty, it's bedtime.

Kitty does not love It's like... bedtime. If you use the potty right now, then there will be enough time for us to read a story together. Oh, Kitty does not. She's making her frown at me. All right. So Kitty really does want to hear a story. So Kitty uses the potty. It's bedtime, kitty. Please put on your pajamas. Uh-oh. Kitty does not want to put on her pajamas. Kitty?

Please put on your pajamas. Kitty does not want to put on her pajamas.

SPEAKER_4 (3:33)

Kitty wants to run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, says Kitty at the very end.

Philip (3:46)

Oh, as much as Kitty is enjoying running all over the place, I think that Kitty is really tired, don't you?

It's not run time, Kitty, it's bed time. Kitty does not like bed time, but huffing and panting and...

Kitty looks really tired. If you put on your pajamas right now, then there will be enough time for us to read a story together, and Kitty really, really does want to hear a story so Kitty puts on her pajamas. Thank you for brushing your teeth and using the potty and putting on your pajamas, Kitty. Now, we can read a story together! And I would have properly even asked maybe that Kitty put away some of her toys because her room's kind of a disaster right now. There's a mouse and a shoe and a brush and some yarn and all kinds of stuff all over the place. But to each their own.

Lisa Bueno (4:53)

Okay. Once upon a time in a faraway land, there was a very beautiful princess who was also very naughty. She didn't like to go to bed. She didn't like to brush her teeth or use the potty or put on her pajamas. She didn't like bedtime at all.

She was a very naughty princess, but the princess did like stories. And this is Kitty's favorite story.

Philip (5:20)

Kitty likes stories. And we can see Kitty is all cuddled up in her little cat bed with her little pajamas on. And guess what? Kitty does not like sleeping. Oh, no, my friends, she didn't even get to finish her story because she fell asleep in the middle of it. See, and I think that's what her person was saying to her, was go to sleep or get ready for bed quickly so that you have time to hear the whole story because you will fall asleep in the middle of the story.
